Have I've mentioned lately how much I love Goodreads and the bibliophiles on that site who are so passionate about books? I'm thrilled that 2016 brings me my
5th nomination!! (Also nominated in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014).
There will be three rounds of voting:
* Opening Round Nov. 1 - 6
* Semifinal Round Nov. 8 - 13
* Final Round Nov. 15 - 27
During the opening round, Goodreads will be accepting "write-ins" and five more books will be added to the list for the semifinal round of voting. So if you don't see your favorite, consider telling Goodreads about it. The only requirement is publication date and it should be from Nov 2015 to Oct 2016. The second round will see voting for the full group of 20. Then the field will be narrowed to 10 books for the final round. I don't expect to win, being nominated is honor enough, but if possible I would like to make it to the final round. We'll see if that happens.
I'm not going to ask for your vote. I want you to pick the book that you think deserves to win (no matter what that is). But please
do
vote in all rounds
so your favorite book has the best chance at being named the best fantasy book of 2016. As far as I know, this is the only award that is a "people's choice" (selected based on votes of readers). As such, it is the most important award that I can think of.
